Thanks for all

Author: Mrs. Jane Crewdson Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:10 First Line: O thou, whose bounty fills my cup Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose bounty fills my cup With every blessing meet! I give thee, thanks for every drop-- The bitter and the sweet. 2 I praise thee for the desert road, And for the river-side; For all thy goodness that bestowed, And all thy grace denied. 3 I thank thee for both smile and frown, And for the gain and loss; I praise thee for the future crown, And for the present cross. 4 I thank thee for the wing of love, Which stirred my worldly nest; And for the stormy clouds which drove The flutterer to thy breast. 5 I bless thee for the glad increase, And for the waning joy; And for this strange, this settled peace, Which nothing can destroy.

Resting in God

Author: fr. K. R. Hagenbach Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:10 First Line: Since thy Father's arm sustains thee Lyrics: 1 Since thy Father's arm sustains thee, Peaceful be; When a chastening hand restrains thee, It is he! Know his love in full completeness Fills the measure of thy weakness; If he wound thy spirit sore, Trust him more. 2 Without murmur, uncomplaining, In his hand Lay whatever things thou canst not Understand: Though the world thy folly spurneth, From thy faith in pity turneth, Peace thy inmost soul shall fill-- Lying still. 3 Fearest sometimes that thy Father Hath forgot? When the clouds around thee gather, Doubt him not! Always hath the daylight broken-- Always hath he comfort spoken-- Better hath he been for years, Than thy fears. 4 To his own thy Saviour giveth Daily strength; To each troubled soul that liveth Peace at length: Weakest lambs have largest sharing Of this tender Shepherd's caring; Ask him not, then--when or how-- Only bow.
